My Work: Shimmering Natural Nails With Handpainted Roses

Today's post is my most recent work. My mum suffers from thin and splitting nails. She's been wearing the more sheer Shellac shades for a while now which is protecting them for her so when it came time to change it up for her I decided to go with something a little different. You did read that correctly, I did decide to do something different as she just lets me do what I want providing it's not black!

This time I decided to apply a layer of CND Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel for the first time for her, underneath her Shellac as her thumb needs a little something extra for strength and I decided that her other nails would benefit from it as well.

Over the CND Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel is CND Shellac in Beau with Lecente Stardust Collection in 'Neptune.' I then used CND Shellac in Wild Fire and Lush Tropics to paint the roses on her ring finger, finishing with a top coat.
